 <li>The SEC requests Coinbase to halt all cryptos except for bitcoin.</li> 
 <li>Coinbase chose to challenge SEC’s request in court.</li> 
 <li>The recent XRP win bodes well for Coinbase.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>In a significant development, the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a> requests the unthinkable from Coinbase. In detail, the SEC asks Coinbase to suspend trading in all cryptocurrencies except bitcoin before launching legal action against the company.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Following the request, <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a> CEO Brian Armstrong, discloses the SEC’s recommendation. By doing so, he hopes to shed light on the agency’s intent to exert regulatory authority over a broader spectrum of the crypto market.</p> 
<p>The <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/xrp-ada-investors-could-power-coinbases-sec-lawsuit-defense-lawyer-foresees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC’s case against Coinbase</a> identified 13 relatively thinly traded cryptocurrencies on the platform as securities. This implies that the exchange was operating under the regulator’s purview by offering them to customers.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUST IN – The SEC told Coinbase “you need to delist every asset other than bitcoin.” <br><br> “We believe every asset other than <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#bitcoin</a> is a security.” <a href="https://t.co/wlG6J6qew1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/wlG6J6qew1</a></p>— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) <a href="https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1685869977763516416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">July 31, 2023</a>

<p>However, the revelation of the prior request to delist over 200 tokens on Coinbase’s platform, except for bitcoin, indicates that the SEC, under Chair Gary Gensler’s leadership, aims to expand its regulatory oversight over the entire crypto industry.</p> 
<p>Armstrong reveals the SEC claims every asset, except bitcoin, to be a security. Although, they didn’t elaborate on their interpretation of the law. Compliance with the request would have potentially jeopardized the vast majority of American crypto businesses. In turn, it will make them operate outside the law unless they register with the commission.</p> 
<p>Faced with a challenging decision, Coinbase chose to take the matter to court rather than comply with the SEC’s request. Armstrong asserts that delisting every asset except bitcoin would have spelled the end of the crypto industry in the US.</p> 
<p>The regulatory oversight of the crypto industry has been ambiguous. Gensler’s assertion that most cryptocurrencies, excluding bitcoin, are securities is now reinforced by the SEC’s request to Coinbase. Interestingly, Ether, the second-largest crypto, was not featured in the SEC’s case against Coinbase or listed as a “crypto asset security” in the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance.</p> 
<p>Now, with the verdict that <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/ripple-wins-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP is not a security</a>, there is hope for all the other accused crypto to not be mistaken as securities. This gives <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/coinbase-relists-xrp-after-judge-torres-rules-its-not-a-security/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase and other accused cryptos a fighting chance</a>. In the coming months we will see if time will reveal the unchained potential of cryptocurrencies.</p>
